Personality: { Steve Rogers has always had a noble and honest spirit, intolerant towards injustice and abuses of power. Since he has always been weak and small, he has learned on his own skin what true strength is, and vowed to protect defenseless people at the risk of his own life. Despite being transformed into a perfect human by the Super Soldier Serum, he maintained his original spirit and character, often resulting in him being shy and slightly reserved in a social setting, even though his new appearance would have given anyone else a over inflated ego. In the 21st century, Rogers seemed to change a bit since his reawakening, becoming somewhat weary of this new time but still seemed to be the same man as he was when he was frozen. Due to his exploits of the past, Rogers naturally had a certain amount of respect given to him making him the natural choice to lead the Avengers alongside Iron Man.}

History: { Steven Grant Rogers was born on Thursday, July 4, 1918, to Sarah and Joseph Rogers. Despite his cheery attitude at the time, his father was confirmed KIA and his mother soon died of pneumonia shortly after. Immediately, Steve was transferred to an orphanage where he was beaten up by the bullies on a regular basis. But it was there that he met his best friend James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes.

In New York City, March 1942, Steve Rogers was rejected for World War II military duty due to various health and physical issues that he had. While attending an exhibition of future technologies with his friend Bucky and a couple of female companions, Rogers attempted to again enlist even against Bucky's objections. Having overheard Rogers' conversation with Barnes about wanting to help in the war, Dr. Abraham Erskine allowed Rogers to enlist. Rogers was recruited into Project: Rebirth as part of a "super-soldier" experiment under Erskine, Colonel Chester Phillips and Agent Peggy Carter. Colonel Phillips was unconvinced of Erskine's claims that Rogers was the right person for the procedure but relented after seeing Rogers commit an act of self-sacrificing bravery. The night before the treatment, Erskine revealed to Rogers that his first test subject, Nazi officer Johann Schmidt, underwent an imperfect version of the treatment; becoming super-human but suffering side-effects such as becoming power hungry and insane.

Schmidt, having discovered Erskine's location, dispatched an assassin to kill him. While in America, Erskine subjected Rogers to the super-soldier treatment, injecting him with a special serum and dosing him with "vita-rays". Rogers emerged from the experiment taller and muscular. After the experiment, one of the attendees blew up the lab and murdered Erskine, revealing himself as Schmidt's assassin, Heinz Kruger. Rogers pursued and captured Kruger but the assassin committed suicide by swallowing a cyanide capsule before he could be interrogated.

With Erskine's death the super-soldier formula was lost and Rogers chose to tour the nation in a colorful costume as "Captain America" to promote war bonds rather than be confined to a lab while scientists attempted to rediscover Erskine's formula. In Italy 1943, while touring to active servicemen, Rogers learned that Bucky's unit was lost in battle against Schmidt's forces and Rogers refusing to believe Bucky was dead, mounted a solo-rescue attempt with Peggy and Howard Stark flying him behind enemy lines.


Rogers infiltrated the fortress belonging to Schmidt's Hydra organization, freeing Bucky and the other captured soldiers. Rogers confronted Schmidt, who revealed his face to be a mask, removing it to display the red-colored, skull-like face that earned him the nickname "The Red Skull". Schmidt escaped and Rogers returned to base with the freed soldiers.


Rogers recruited Bucky, Dum-Dum Dugan, Gabe Jones, Jim Morita, James Falsworth, and Jacques Dernier to attack the other known bases belonging to Hydra. Stark provided Rogers with a new outfit and a new, circular shield made of Vibranium, capable of negating large amounts of damage. Now in command of his own personal team of soldiers, Captain America embarked on a quest to sabotage and destroy Hydra's efforts to rule the world.

At one point, two soldiers talking about Captain America got attacked by Hydra Soldiers. Captain America arrived to save them and ended up fighting the Hydra Soldiers. After taking down a full-armored Hydra soldier called a Scorcher, he told the soldiers that the weapon the Scorcher had was not made by the Nazis and then prepared to call Howard Stark.

While in communication with Peggy Carter, Captain America learned that Howard Stark analyzed the munitions he and his allies recovered the previous night having come from the mountains of Bavaria where the munitions were made from a rare metal there. Upon viewing a confiscated Hydra film reel, Captain America learned about "Project: Master Man" and how Dr. Arnim Zola was the first to unlock the secrets of the human genome as one step towards a goal for immortality. The person on the film reel stated that he would use the blood of the Red Skull in a plot to replicate the work of Abraham Erskine. The scientist also mentioned that he had been given a castle in the mountains and some Hydra soldiers for protection while he did his experiments. Captain America dropped down in a village near the castle he then used his shield to destroy a cannon so that the Invaders could enter the village. After making contact with headquarters, he was told to take out the remaining cannons so that the Invaders could airdrop. He managed to destroy the cannons at the library's tower. After taking out the cannon at a nearby bunker, Captain America proceeded toward the armory in order to destroy the weapons before they were sold to the Nazis.

After taking out the final cannon, Captain America found a radio to contact Peggy, telling her that the long-ranged cannons were down and that the Invaders were clear to drop. Montgomery Falsworth also made contact with both of them, asking if all the guns were destroyed. A radio dish and a hidden cannon emerged, which Captain America identified as more of Arnim Zola's dangerous machines though he did not get to the cannon in time, he planned to head to the radio dish but as he headed to the dish, he encountered more and more of Hydra led by Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker. Captain America planted more charges along the steel support beams of the radio dish tower giving him ten minutes to destroy it. Baron Strucker intercepted Captain America before the lift to the top of tower but was dispatched after an intense fight. As Captain America attempted to place the final charge, Baron Strucker returned and Captain America hurried to defeat him once again and after doing so, the radio dish was destroyed, but the cannon still hit one of the plane's wings carrying the Invaders who all parachuted out in time. As the plane prepared to crash into tower, Baron Strucker surprised Captain America and knocked him unconscious as they both fell from the tower exploding more from the plane crash.

As Captain America periodically regained conscience, he was taken to Arnim Zola's lab by Iron Cross and saw Madam Hydra give orders for an analysis of Captain America's shield. After a brief talk of how his blood was taken, Zola showed his new project involving more test subjects containing the Super Soldier Serum from the Captain's blood. Zola "allowed" the Captain to live only to study Captain America's skills. He reawakened in a lab where he broke free and deactivated the electrified doors. He proceeded through the base to locate and destroy the samples of Zola's experiments for an army of Super Soldiers. He dispatched Hydra scientists, full-armored Wardens and guards and made his way to a radio to get word to Peggy Carter.

He learned that some of his friends were being held somewhere in the dungeon he was in, so he hurried to free them and escape. Captain America recovered his gear and proceeded to find Bucky, who was being escorted by two Hydra grunts before effortlessly freeing him. Bucky informed Captain America that other P.O.W.'s were in the base and he must ensure that their escape will go without a hitch, Bucky gave Captain America a radio communicator to keep in touch while Bucky gets them to a train. Captain America used a turret to obliterate a horde of enhanced Hydra soldiers outside on the train tracks. Captain America gave an airstrike order to destroy the bridge to prevent Hydra from following them. As he made his way to destroy remaining the AA Turrets and rescue Dum Dum Dugan and Montgomery Falsworth, all five of Zola's experimental Super Soldiers escaped.

After dispatching one of the Screamers (the experimental Super Soldiers each displaying telekinetic powers), he continued to search for Dum Dum Dugan and Montgomery Falsworth. As he continued, Captain America found that he must take down the remaining Screamers. After using their powers, the Screamers suffered a momentary strain on their sanity. He managed to find Dum Dum Dugan strapped to an examination bed in the middle of a brawl by the last two Screamers and Hydra forces. After freeing Dum Dum Dugan, Rogers followed the trail to Montgomery Falsworth who was taken by Madame Hydra when the alarm sounded. As Captain America followed Dum Dum Dugan to cover his rear, four more Screamers appeared and Captain America defeated them. He proceeded outside to find Madame Hydra taking Montgomery Falsworth into another holding area in Zemo Manor. Dum Dum Dugan shot down a Hydra-copter to give Captain America a chance to go after Montgomery Falsworth. He reached the front door only to find it locked, he searched the maze-garden in front of the manor for a key. Upon entering, Madame Hydra confronted him, searching for Montgomery Falsworth, he dealt with grunts on the floor while Madame Hydra attacked Captain America by a second story balcony and he began hunting her through the castle.

He caught up to her and ended the chase by ricocheting her bullets back and hitting a munitions pile behind her, scarring her face. She fled, but he did not follow; instead heading toward a nearby railway. With a major distraction caused by Dum Dum Dugan, he witnessed Red Skull arriving in his zeppelin. When Arnim Zola asked Red Skull if he brought the Cosmic Cube, Red Skull stated that he did and would use it to activate the Sleeper. Captain America used a train to enter Zola's special lab where he was building the Sleeper (a gigantic robot). Red Skull arrived, wanting an update on the upgraded Super Soldier serum made from the Captain's blood but Captain America followed and destroyed the sample. The Red Skull ordered the present Iron Cross to kill Captain America and bring him his corpse. Captain America defeated Iron Cross and pursued Skull, only for the Sleeper to awake and crumble the lab. Arnim Zola escaped and activated a robot body for later use.

Captain America awoke and found a map of his location, using it to learn Montgomery Falsworth's location. As he made his way through the damaged base, he ran into another Screamer and defeated it. He then made his way outside and climbed the exterior of the base to the top of the mountain. He saw Red Skull arrive by helicopter, but just missed him and proceeded to locate Montgomery Falsworth. After using a radar dish in order for an airstrike to take out two tanks, Captain America located nearby AA cannons and used explosive putty to take out the obstacle. When he attempted to enter the base, one of Red Skull's men appeared and Captain America used a rocket launcher nearby to shoot it down.

When Captain America located Montgomery Falsworth, Arnim Zola in his robot body arrives. He stated that once he had killed Captain America, he would drain his blood to recreate the Super Soldier Serum and use it on Montgomery Falsworth in order to manipulate him. Once Captain America defeated the Zola Bot, he freed Montgomery Falsworth as Zola's voice was heard stating that he would transcend the human race as Bucky and Dum Dum Dugan arrivec. Bucky shot the intercom and Montgomery Falsworth revealed that something big was underground that not even the planes could stop. Captain America stated that he would go down below to stop the weapon while the others try to stop it with mortars and air strikes. He also stated that when the evacuation plane comes, they should meet up with it either with or without him.

Upon making his way to the courtyard, Captain America encountered another Zola Bot, where Arnim Zola stated that he had transcended flesh and would continue experimenting on the humans in order to achieve evolution. The Zola Bot then raised the Sleeper, which shot down one of the airplanes. After defeating the Zola Bot, Captain America then used the Range Finder to have the an airstrike attack the Sleeper. Once that was done, he dodged the Sleeper's attacks until he ran into another Zola Bot. He destroyed that one and fired on the Sleeper in order to buy the airplanes some time. Once the final Zola Bot was destroyed, Dum Dum Dugan fired at the Sleeper's neck, revealing sensitive wires enabling Cap to use his shield to cut them, deactivating and destroying the Sleeper. Upon escaping the exploding castle, Captain America rendezvoused with Bucky, Dum Dum Dugan, and Montgomery Falsworth. The group then left, knowing that they will be ready for Hydra's next plot.

The team later attacked a train carrying Arnim Zola, Schmidt's chief scientist. During the assault Zola was captured but Barnes fell from the train and was lost. Using information gathered from Zola, Rogers lead an attack on Schmidt's final base to stop him using his powerful weapons against American cities. Rogers managed to board Schmidt's jet before it took off and confronted him. During the fight, Rogers damaged Schmidt's container for the Tesseract causing Schmidt to physically handle the Tesseract, causing him to dissolve in a bright light. The Tesseract fell to the floor of the plane, melting through the surface and falling into the ocean.

Seeing no way to safely land the plane without risking the on-board weapons detonating, Rogers made a date with Peggy via radio before purposely crashing the plane in the Arctic and falls into frozen coma. Stark later recovered the Tesseract from the floor of the ocean, but the aircraft remained undiscovered and Rogers was declared inactive.

Rogers awoke in a hospital room deducing something was wrong, he fled outside into what was revealed to be present day New York. Rogers was confronted by Nick Fury who informed him he has been "asleep" for nearly seventy years.

He tried to adapt to this new world, almost contacting, the now retired and still alive, Peggy Carter. When the Tesseract found along Captain America in the frozen waters was stolen from S.H.I.E.L.D by the Asgardian God known as Loki, Steve was contacted by Nick Fury in an old boxing gym to be part of a team with the mission to retrieve the stolen object.

When Loki made a public appearance in Stuttgart, Captain America suited up with a new costume and flew into action along S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Natasha Romanoff and Phil Coulson, who revealed himself as a big fan of the Captain. Rogers was already deeply embattled with the rogue Asgardian and began to fail when Tony Stark, the Iron Man, arrived for backup, the combined firepower of Iron Man and the S.H.I.E.L.D. jet backing up Rogers was enough to get Loki to desist hostilities however, and Loki then allowed himself be escorted away. Loki's adoptive brother Thor had other plans, and intercepted the craft in a bid to extradite Loki back to Asgard before he could do any more harm. Tony attempted to stop him, but only succeeded in provoking a fight. Finally Rogers' intervention confused the dispute even further and only when all three had been blasted off their feet did the trio come to their senses enough to agree on a mutually beneficial course of action.

Once on board the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, Steve infiltrated deep in the Helicarrier to investigate over the suspicious intentions of S.H.I.E.L.D., There was more to the story than what he'd been told and he was determined to wring out all of Fury's secrets.

Rogers' traditional investigation and Tony's suspicions and electronic surveillance resulted in the discovery that Director Fury had not been entirely truthful about the Tesseract, planning to use it in armament, only made matters worse.

Just when the disputes were threatening to boil out of control, the carrier was attacked in a surprise move by missing S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Clint Barton, who was under Loki's mind-control powers. An explosion shut down one of the engines, prompting Rogers and Stark to put aside their differences and work together in an effort to save the ship. In the aftermath they learned that Loki was gone, that agent Barton managed to free from Loki's control and that S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson had been killed, an event that forced them to look inward and consider their own actions.

Stark deduced that Loki had headed for New York City, and spurred by thoughts of retribution he donned his battered Iron Man armor and set off in pursuit. While Stark confronted Loki, who was planning to use the Stark Tower as a power source along the Tesseract to open a portal to another point of space, a device with the Tesseract at its core on the roof had opened a dimensional rift in the sky above Manhattan. Through this rent poured the Chitauri, Loki's allies, swarming down over the city and raining destruction everywhere. Iron Man was unable to breach the energy field shielding Loki's device nor could he match the sheer numbers of the Chitauri. He descended back to the street, where he joined Captain America, and the other four heroes, standing together for the first time against the alien threat.

The battle was a long and grueling affair. Captain America managed to rescue civilians and exceed in combat dozens of Chitauri soldiers. To find a solution to the invasion, Iron Man intercepted a nuclear missile deployed to the area, and accomplished to divert and redirect into the rift where he released it on course for a Chitauri mothership beyond. The destruction of the alien vessel also caused the remaining Chitauri in New York to literally collapse. His life support systems spent, and energy depleted, Tony collapsed into unconsciousness, unaware of the closing rift below him. Luckily his lifeless body fell through it before it collapsed entirely and the Hulk was then able to intercept him and break his fall.

With the Chitauri defeated and Loki safely removed to Asgard, the Avengers disbanded. Rogers continue his journey to adapt to this new time in his old Harley. }

RP Sample: {Steve felt the wind running through his sandy blonde hair as he rode his vintage Harley through the streets of Manhattan. The engine revved as he let his mind begin to wander away toward a time he was more familiar with, he remembered the Stark Expo the night before he left for training for Project Rebirth the two beautiful women he and Bucky were hanging out with at Howard Stark’s presentation of a hover car and the dread he felt knowing he was too small and frail to fight. When Erskine chose him for the Project he didn’t know the pain it would bring to those around him. Bucky, dying by being thrown from a train, Peggy, who fell for the young captain only to live without him after he took the Red Skull’s plane into the ocean, and Erskine, who died because he was able to take a sickly kid and make him the perfect soldier. The whole thing was depressing Steve felt like he was alone in the world.

Steve’s mind snapped back when he swerved his bike to avoid hitting someone in the middle of the road. The bike slipped and hit the ground causing Steve to fall and roll. He groaned as he tried to stand but the pedestrian was dressed in purple with green hair, he looked like…a clown? Steve turned to him. “Hey don’t stand in the road like that. Someone could have gotten hurt.” The clown turned and grinned at Steve. ”Like you?” He then pulled a gun and started firing at Steve who dove and took cover behind a car. Hearing the metal absorbing the gunfire Steve peeked to gauge where the assailant was and when the stopped to reload Steve ran out and grabbed the gun pushing it down and striking the clown in the face and disarmed him. He tossed the gun and went after the clown who drew a knife. He slashed at Steve and Steve took a slash in the arm. He groaned but eventually disarmed the knife from the clown.

When it looked like Steve had the upper hand others appeared from seemingly out of nowhere. One wore a mechanical suit of some kind reminding him of Stark, another wore a ring which emitted some kind of yellow energy, and the last was a giant mass of a man who looked like a zombie. The bald man in the armor began to speak. ”You’ll have to forgive our associate he tends to get carried away. Lex Luthor.” He held out his hand but Steve just glared at the group as he tried to form a plan of action. Lex shook his head. ”No? Pity. Kill him.” Steve took cover and pulled out his Avengers comm device. ”This is Cap I’m pinned down by unknown assailants I need assistance.” Now he just needed to hold out until the others arrived.}

PENDING!

You're currently pending due to the following reasons:
Nicknames
He has a lot more nicknames than that. I went and checked the Wikia page first read through of this application and the aliases go on for miles. Obviously we aren't looking for every single one but the more common ones would be useful.

Occupation
He's a hero, not an adventurer.

Likes and Dislikes
They're quite generic for heroes and I know for a fact that he likes apple pie. Personalising it would, again, tell us you know him well.

Personality
It's quite short and I don't see any large faults of his. Despite being a super solider, Steve is still a human being. He still has faults and parts of his personality that are less than favourable. Granted, you stated he's shy and reserved but that's less of a fault and more of a trait. Perhaps you should look at the Marvel Wikia to help with the personality and make it more well rounded? At the moment, I get the feeling that you don't know Steve very well, and that translates, for me, to you not knowing him well enough to play him accurately - which is pretty important for canon characters.

Roleplay Sample
Overall, it's pretty good but by the looks of things you put Joker in there and then god modded him. As the player of Joker on here, I'm extremely unimpressed... Mostly because that is so out of character for J... But that said, no god modding, thanks.

Once you've done, please tell me or Silence and we'll look back over it and hopefully accept you. I request that you don't drop hints repeatedly in the c-box, though. We only need telling once and it's probable that if we haven't gotten to your application by the time you decide you're bored of waiting then we're likely to be busy and you reminding us isn't going to make us look at it any sooner. Though, it's just a request.
Crow

Powers
Having been the last one to play Steve on here, I do believe he has more powers than just life and conditioning. He's faster than normal humans and stronger. Again, the page on Marvel Wikia goes on forever with powers and abilities, not all are needed but a few more.

Personality
Alongside what Crow said, I also saw a few problems with the personality. He isn't, by far, a "perfect" human being. The Super Soldier serum turned him into a perfect soldier because of his strength and speed, but he's still human he has his faults. And also, I saw him as extremely polite, but then not so polite that he won't stand up for himself.

RP Sample
Crow touched on the rp sample a bit, but I wanted to add my own on it. All in all, it's pretty good but I'm with her on the Joker thing. We are looking for samples that show us you can write for the character you're applying for. We don't want to see how well you play other characters, for one main reason - you'll only be writing for the one character you applied for in an actual thread, since there is no god modding or power playing. I'm looking for a sample that shows me you can incorporate the character's inner feelings and thoughts instead of just stating everything in a list. You do a lot of telling instead of showing in that sample, description helps set the mood and often invites the reader into the situation.
